Henry
Henry Beavers has been with the Ingram Center since 2020. Mel and Henry met as children at Merritt Island Christian School, attended Edgewood Jr/Sr High together (Class of 2009), then lost touch for over a decade before making a fortuitous reconnection here in Cocoa Village. Mel remembered that Henry was insanely smart in high school and was often at the Merritt Island Barnes & Noble tutoring other Edgewood students, and they’ve been working together ever since. The powerhouse of the Ingram College Prep Center, with an SAT 1550 to his name, Henry has the tremendous ability to raise scores for all students, regardless of whether they are starting in the SAT 900s range or already pushing SAT 1300+ scores. He works full-time, year-round, exclusively as a tutor for the SAT/ACT, Physics, Calculus and other maths, as well as the LSAT. On weekends, Henry can be found installing doors, building walls, and otherwise literally constructing the Ingram Center.

Owen has grown quite the fan base since he started tutoring at the Ingram Center in Spring 2022. After scoring an SAT 1540 and outcompeting about 50 other applicants ranging in age from 17 to 60 on test assessments and sample classes, Owen’s credentials and previous experience helping students succeed in math coursework and on the SAT and ACT made his application stand out.
Owen is now a senior in the Cocoa Beach International Baccalaureate program.

Mel
Mel Ingram founded the Ingram College Prep Center (formerly Ingram Test Prep) back in 2014 upon returning from Argentina, where they had cofounded and run their first test prep company, USA Tutors Buenos Aires, for several years. Mel has earned a 1600 SAT and 36 ACT, as well as 337 GRE, and has over a decade of full-time experience running tutoring programs for high school and college students in a range of subjects spanning the humanities, grammar and composition, social sciences, natural sciences, and mathematics. A graduate of Edgewood Jr./Sr. High School (’09), New York University (’12) and master’s student at the University of Pennsylvania (’18), Mel knows firsthand what it takes to succeed at elite universities.
Mel instructs our public SAT/ACT small group classes. In addition, Mel provides college essay and application assistance in both one-on-one and small group settings, and is highly selective for private tutoring appointments.
All families will interact with Mel, though. Mel is the one who you will meet with at the beginning of your test prep program and who is involved with every single student’s journey toward success behind the scenes. Mel focuses their time onboarding new students, assisting and strategizing test prep plans with the other tutors, training staff, and keeping all the schedules and data cohering.
